Claire Danthois created the Tasting Bar, shown as the lead photo, to express Newton Vinyards’ Nature by Design philosophy. The custom design was meticulously crafted to express the earnest quality of the wines it holds. Newton’s terraced vineyards and natural wines informed Danthois’ design and choices of materials. The other pieces are from a series of designs titled, “Once Used.” Danthois is interested in the physical connection people have with the world around them and is fascinated with chairs and how people use them. She likes to impart a sculptural sense to her work in order to encourage human interaction with the pieces. Designer: Claire Danthois  For the main body of work the focus is on sustainability, believing strongly that the state of the planet is in the hands of designers. Using reclaimed timber and assembling with cable these pieces of furniture have been brought to life, the cable also adds a delightful spring action. There is no need to apply a finish, saving another source of pollution. Interested in keeping part of the woods previous use visible, telling a story.
